Campus modernization begins at 51勛圖app

Campus modernization begins at 51勛圖app

Renewal of Great Hall and improved meal options scheduled for Fall 2014

February 20, 2014 - The first major step in a sweeping will begin this summer with renovations to the iconic Great Hall.  The $2.09M contract for modernization of the 60-year old hall has been awarded to Sudbury-based Capital Construction and work is scheduled to begin this spring, at the end of the current academic term. 
 

※Our planned renovations to the Great Hall will create a warm, welcoming and sophisticated dining and gathering space for students, staff, and visitors to the campus,§ said Ben Demianiuk, Director of Housing and Food Services.  ※We believe the re-design will make this much-loved campus fixture a new and inviting focal point at Laurentian.§ 
 

Artists＊ renderings of the redesign propose up-to-date lighting and furnishings, with a variety of comfortable seating.  The food services offered through the Great Hall have also been re-envisioned as a ※March谷-style§ dining experience, to be operated by Aramark Food Services under the name  
 

※Throughout our campus consultations, we heard that students want more menu options, more fresh food and healthy meal choices.  With the March谷 approach, we＊ll be able to deliver far more variety on a daily basis, with 12 different food-choice stations, compared with the current three,§ said Demianiuk. The Fresh Food Co will also offer more local produce and locally-sourced food products, to be highlighted on daily menu boards.  The university continues to seek further opportunities for local food and beverage suppliers to offer their products on campus.

The March谷 will operate as an ＆everything you care to eat＊ system, allowing unlimited choices at set rates for each meal period.  Dining will be most affordable with one of the menu plans created for the new food services, ranging from the designated meal plan for students living in Single Student Residence, University College, East, and West Residences, to the Optional meal plan for faculty, staff and students in non-designated residences.
 

※We＊re joining the majority of Canadian universities in providing meal plans for students in residence, providing students and their families the assurance of fresh, nourishing meal choices throughout the academic year at a reasonable price,§ said Vice-President, Administration Carol McAulay.  
 

The Great Hall renovation project is a prelude to the sweeping campus modernization program approved by Laurentian＊s Board of Governors and outlined in the University＊s 2012-2017 Strategic Plan.  The $50M campus modernization program will entail numerous upgrades and renovations to classrooms, labs, study areas and social spaces over the next 3 years. 

※It will be the first significant modernization of some parts of the Sudbury campus, and the intent is to optimize and modernize our facilities while improving the use of space and streamlining access to services,§ said Executive Director of Physical Plant and Planning, Brad Parkes.  
 

During the period of renovations to the Great Hall, dining options will continue at Tim Hortons and Starbucks while a barbeque food cart will be added to offer a variety of seasonal favourites.

Sudbury Cancer Test Predicts Breast Cancer Survivability

Sudbury Cancer Test Predicts Breast Cancer Survivability

The RDA? test was developed by Dr. Amadeo Parissenti of Sudbury, and his research associate Dr. Baoqing Guo of Health Sciences North.

Sudbury(January 7, 2014) – A test developed in Sudbury is proving successful in predicting which breast cancer patients will best respond to chemotherapy and live cancer-free for a longer period of time following treatment.

 

Results conducted into the RNA Disruption Assay™ (RDA™) test were presented last month at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in San Antonio, Texas.

 

The RDA™ test was developed by Dr. Amadeo Parissenti of Sudbury, and his research associate Dr. Baoqing Guo of Health Sciences North.  Dr. Parissenti is Chief Scientific Officer for Rna Diagnostics, based in Toronto and Sudbury.  Dr. Parissenti is also a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at 51勛圖app, Professor of Medical Sciences at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM), and an affiliate scientist at the Advanced Medical Research Institute of Canada (AMRIC), which is the research arm of Health Sciences North.

 

The research findings were based on a clinical trial of 85 breast cancer patients. The patients were given the RDA™ test midway through their chemotherapy treatment. The patients were then tracked following the completion of their chemotherapy.

 

The RDA test quantifies the effect of chemotherapy on the quality of ribonucleic acid (RNA) within the tumour. Tumours responding positively to chemotherapy  showed  markedly reduced RNA quality (a phenomenon called “RNA disruption”).  The tumour is then assigned an RNA disruption score. A high RNA disruption score means there has been significant degradation of the RNA within the tumour, making the tumour nonviable and likely to die. A low RNA disruption score means very little loss of RNA quality within the tumour, which means it will continue to be viable and likely grow.

 

The research concluded that those patients with a high tumour RNA disruption score lived about two to three-and-a-half years longer cancer-free than patients with a low tumour RNA disruption score, following completion of chemotherapy.

 

“This new test could become the gold standard for predicting the effectiveness of chemotherapy in breast cancer,” says Dr. Amadeo Parissenti. “The current benchmark for measuring the effectiveness of chemotherapy only happens after the treatment is finished. But with the RDA™ method we can predict during treatment who is actually responding to chemotherapy and who isn’t. Those patients who are not responding can then be switched to another treatment and spared the side effects of unnecessary chemotherapy. By having that ability to predict who is not responding and switching their treatment, we can potentially improve both their survival rates and quality of life.”

 

“These are wonderful results. This study shows the RDA method is very effective in predicting which breast cancer patients are most likely to benefit from chemotherapy. This will have profound implications for their care and ability to beat cancer,” adds Dr. Kenneth Pritzker, CEO of Rna Diagnostics.

 

51勛圖app licensed the technology behind RDATM to Rna Diagnostics, the first commercial license ever granted by the university, in order to bring this new medical diagnostic tool to breast cancer patients around the world.

 

"This is an incredible achievement for medical research in Sudbury which demonstrates the importance of research in universities and hospitals," said Dr. Patrice Sawyer, Vice-President, Research and Francophone Affairs at 51勛圖app. "Health research is a key focus for 51勛圖app and we are thrilled by the recent developments using the RDA technology."

 

“As a professor of medical sciences at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, Dr. Parissenti sets a first-rate example for our learners in two ways: first, in his commitment to improving the quality of patient care, and second, in his dedication to high-quality medical research” explains Dr. Roger Strasser, NOSM Dean. “I am so pleased that our learners have the opportunity to work with world-class researchers such as Dr. Parissenti here in the Northern Ontario. I extend my sincere congratulations to Dr. Parissenti and his team for this important breakthrough!”

 

The laboratory testing for this study was conducted in Sudbury at AMRIC, where Rna Diagnostics leases lab space. Further evaluative research of the RDA method is ongoing within Sudbury.

 

“Congratulations to Dr. Parissenti and his team for these remarkable and promising results,” says Dr. Francisco Diaz-Mitoma, AMRIC’s CEO and Chief Scientific Officer. “The success so far of this work and the collaboration involved with other key partners is a prime example of the value and potential of developing the health research sector in Greater Sudbury. The world-class research being done here has global implications.”

 

“Dr. Parissenti’s breakthrough work once again demonstrates that research is health care,” adds Dr. Denis Roy, President and CEO of Health Sciences North. “It is research like this that leads to discoveries and innovations that ultimately save lives.  Health care and research partners in Greater Sudbury’s are showing true initiative and global leadership in this field.”

Laurentian Hosts Science and Humanities Forum on Extinction

Laurentian Hosts Science and Humanities Forum on Extinction

Unique international symposium will combine philosophy, conservation biology

Photo of Polar BearNovember 6, 2013 每 Conservation biology, increasing threats to habitat, and the growing list of species at risk are all on the agenda〞alongside ethical and philosophical aspects of extinction〞at a unique international symposium to be held at 51勛圖app this month.   

 

※Thinking Extinction,§  November 14-16, will address and discuss a range of approaches to the crisis of mass extinction in an unprecedented gathering of leading thinkers, researchers and scientists from Canada, the U.S., Australia and New Zealand.  

 

The symposium is organized and hosted by 51勛圖app＊s Centre for Evolutionary Ecology and Ethical Conservation (CEEEC) and will include talks, panel discussions, roundtables and evening events dealing with numerous aspects of endangered species conservation.  The events are free and open to the public.

 

※The innovative aspect of our symposium is that it brings the humanities into what is typically treated as a scientific discussion,§ said 51勛圖app professor and Canada Research Chair in Applied Evolutionary Ecology, Albrecht Schulte-Hostedde.  ※We think this approach recognizes that all of us are facing fundamental questions about our role in protecting the diversity of species on this planet, and we hope the symposium will add new dimensions to the conversation.§

 

On Friday, November 15th, Conservation Biologist Stuart Pimm will speak at a public plenary session entitled Extinctions: When, Where, How Fast, and What We Can Do to Stop Them.  Pimm, the Doris Duke Professor of Conservation Ecology at Duke University and Chair of SavingSpecies.org, has worked on ecosystem restoration in the Everglades, the coastal forests of Brazil, and the savannas of southern Africa.

 

During the day＊s proceeding＊s on Friday, noted Canadian authors and wilderness advocates Margaret Atwood and Graeme Gibson will take part in a roundtable discussion on the future of endangered species conservation.   The curator of reproductive programs at the Toronto Zoo, Gabriela Mastromonaco, and Bridget Stuchbury, author and expert in threats to songbird populations, will also be part of Friday＊s round-table.

 

Among the many topics to be covered during the conference, expert speakers will discuss the use of reproductive technology in efforts to preserve and even resurrect threatened or extinct species.  ※People often think the idea of recreating the wooly mammoth in a lab is science fiction, but in fact the existing technology allows us to contemplate the revival of species that have vanished, ※ said professor Brett Buchanan, Chair of the Philosophy Department at 51勛圖app.   ※This is but one of the potential solutions to our extinction crisis that opens up many of the philosophical questions we are exploring at the symposium.§
